The
Minnesota Seminar in Jungian Studies is accepting applications from persons
wishing to engage in the serious study of Jungian psychology. The seminar
is designed for individuals hoping to enrich their lives psychologically, for
therapists seeking to enhance their skills analytically, and for those
intending to apply for analytic training with the IRSJA (see below). Drawing
on the enormous body of work by Jung and post-Jungians, the curriculum is
challenging and stimulating in the rich tradition of depth psychology. The
faculty consists of local and visiting analysts as well as Jungian scholars
and experts in related fields. Enrollment is limited. Classes are held,
usually at Macalester, one weekend a month from September through May except for January. Saturday
classes meet from 9:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. with a break for lunch. Sunday
classes meet from 9:00 a.m. to noon. Tuition is $1500. Financial aid is
available on a limited basis for persons with documented need.
